It does. The thing is however is that the ocean is huge beyond your ability to really picture. This means even a small effect over that much water adds up when concentrated onto a small section of the planet relatively. You just don’t have that much water in you and so though it effects the water inside of you it isn’t spread over enough area to see it’s effect. Humans are just really tiny.
